Love your channel. Love the fact that you make all these great looking illustrations and you really care about the technicalities of athleticism which are pretty difficult to visualize, yet, here you are with the best solution possible. Keep up your great work!
I’d say a little higher maybe 170 ish he doesn’t have the go to athletic built but his technique and his cardio are what makes him not need so much body mass fighting at 135 Plenty of lean guys that need that extra size in weight to get that power but if you get the technique down to the core you’ll be good 9/10 at any weight class
As much boxing/mma I consume, I am not sure how this post failed to find my feed earlier. Not good! I enjoy your perspective on many levels! My favorite all-time boxer is Ray Leonard! My favorite all-time boxing match is his loss to Duran in June 1980! 'The sweet science' has never been on the 1980s level since! A great read is the 'Four Kings' by George Kimball. ~ Cheers to you, Mover's Odyssey! 💯🔥💪🏾🥊
Yea youtube didn't want to push this video for some reason. Glad you enjoyed though! The 80's are my favorite era of boxing as well, especially welterweight through middleweight. The wars between Leonard, Duran, Hagler and Hearns were all amazing. I also really liked the light heavyweights and heavyweights of the 50's and 60's. Archie Moore, Marciano, Joe Louis, Floyd Patterson and Joe Walcott. A great era
Absolutely true! The light heavy/heavyweights of that era were in super condition and extremely durable! The talent was very balanced amongst the total group! I believe Cassius Clay entered the scene at the most opportunistic time. He was able to send fighters like Liston and Patterson away. However, his return would find him facing the most capable opponents in Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Ron Lyle, and others. I'm an 80s fan as well! Let's give Arguello, Pryor, Mancini, early Camacho, and Bramble, their respective flowers as well. I was born in 1970. But I enjoy the history of boxing's golden eras. Sugar Ray Robinson may have been the most impressive, imho.
@@djj3357 Sugar Ray robinson's fight videos blew my mind as a teenager. His instincts and refelxes were incredible. Prime Roy Jones was similar. The 80's were so packed with talent. I'm not sure what happened in the 90's. The sport just seemed to lose popularity and fewer people took it up. I know in the 70's and even early 80's. most U.S. high schools had boxing programs, but by the early 90's they were all gone. Too much liability I'm sure. Now they are even dropping wrestling programs. These younger kids need some wrestling and boxing more than ever though.
Agreed! And yes, those in decision-making positions are failing the youth! Your videos are high quality & an excellent deterrent!! We have the survival poster on order! 💯💪🏾
I don't know why this video got to me soooo late. Have been training all my life in a competitive environment and also outside of sports life. In Chinese martial arts that's called "breaking the crystal", punch is supposed to go through your opponent. There are more principles applied on those punches, also that's what you can see from the outside. There are many much more subtle elements that are not visible to the naked eye, The timing of muscle contraction, breathing, and much more. Great video btw.
He usually tags his opponent before he goes for the killing strike. It’s wild to see how he’ll tap certain spots on his opponent’s body before striking.
used to use krita but lstely ive been using clip studio. its not as good for things like photo editing or graphic design but its set up really well for illustration.
@@ricklopez4703 I'm self taught, used to draw the images I would see in my comic books as a kid. More recently I've been watching 2d animators illustrate and utilizing some of their techniques. Hand drawn animators are the quickest and most efficient illustrators I've seen, it's really helped a lot.
It’s also crazy because Alex is thin for a lhw. Look at his frame. He’s got broad shoulders, but he’s got a tiny waist.. I would say somewhat lanky. Lanky people really do punch harder. It’s actually the worst sparring with skinnier guys.
When your real thin it takes really good timing of the kinetic chain and getting your joints in the right position at the end of the punch. Tommy Hearns is a great guy to watch for that, he was I think 6' or 6'1" and fought between 147-160lbs. If he caught you with a right hand at the end of his punch range it was usually a knockout. Checkout his knockout of roberto duran, its a perfect example. Looks like someone just hit the off switch on Duran.
@@moversodyssey I just watched the Hearns - Duran fight. Just type Hearns vs Duran in the UA-cam search, pops right up. They fought at 154lbs, with Tommy being 6' 1" tall. So he had the tall, lanky frame like O'Malley does. And that right hand, man. Another interesting fact I had forgotten about, Duran walked around in between fights at 190lbs, then cut down to make the 154lb limit. That seems crazy, but it worked for him.
@@marcd1981 I remember that fight. Hearns took out Duran just like he had flipped a switch. That was a crazy punch. I always liked that fight and his 3 round war with Hagler. That was crazy.
I just clicked on the video to say it was not a one punch KO. Aljo got dropped and finished by strikes on the ground. Sure he got rocked badly but you can’t call it a KO if he didn’t go unconscious.
His eyes were literally behind his head while his head was bouncing off the canvas. A couple more unanswered strikes from Omally would've done more permanent damage if the ref didn't step in.
@@Cud1Zon3 He wasn’t unconscious. He was rocked badly but he was trying to defend himself and get out of the position. I never said that the fight shouldn’t have been stopped. I’m saying it was a TKO not a KO. It was a TKO because he didn’t go unconscious. He was unable to answer back, defend himself effectively or get in to a better position which is why they stopped the fight.
I used to be flat chested when I boxed at 139lbs, then I moved up to 147 and had the beginnings of pecs. But I didn't have a real chest until moving up to 160lbs and above. It's really tough to be muscular with a tall frame and in a lower weight division. You have to train on a calorie deficit and focus on building only the most important muscles for fighting, which unfortunately the pecs are not.
This is the way it's been done for many years. Fighters take advantage when they are able to cut weight and use their power advantage in the lower weight divisions. Some fighters have literally risked their lives with severe enough weight cuts, which makes it crazy that it isn't stopped.
you forgot to add that when he steps into the ring on fight night he is a Solid 160-170 pounds while the other guy is lucky if they hit 145 lol . WEIGHT CUTTING IS REAL this is why taller guys cut down .
its true, but its slso true of his opponent's and nearly all fighters at that level. they all cut as much as possible for weigh ins before rehydrating. The ufc even started its own program to help fighters rehydrate because they figured nothing they could do would stop it, so might as well make sure its done right.
Punchers are born ....not made..... You literally have thousands of people on tape doing the same expert technique with different results .......so by definition of that huge sample size on punching ability it clearly varies.....and based Its genetics like everything else in this world ......(yes obviously you can train and increase ya chances too but understand theres guy is like George Foreman running around that just got it like that with zero training and no technique.... AND THAT BROTHER DIDN'T EVEN HAVE GOOD PUNCHING TECHNIQUE UNTIL HE WAS IN HIS 40s and still managed to become heavyweight Champion ) ..... All living creatures are born with advantages DEAL WITH IT.........
Are you under the assumption I'm at war with the idea of genetic advantages? There are genetically gifted athletes of all kinds and certainly I've met punchers who had natural power. But I've also coached boxers who had boxed for years without power and taught them to develop significant knockout power. When you understand athletic skills you can replicate them, most people just never do. Most people are so focused on why they are moving (trying to hit someone) that they never stop to focus on how they move. In my experience, when you can get someone to learn to focus on how they move and change the quality of that movement, you can create drastic changes in athletic ability.
You're on to something here bro 📈🔥
Glad to have you back regularly! Miss your videos.
Love your channel. Love the fact that you make all these great looking illustrations and you really care about the technicalities of athleticism which are pretty difficult to visualize, yet, here you are with the best solution possible. Keep up your great work!
Thank you very much!
The art in this video is cool 👌
Welcome back!
Great video
adding fight clips would make this video even more convincing but good job bro
bro these videos are so high quality, like damn, so much effort in the drawings too.
weighs in at 155 walking around
I’d say a little higher maybe 170 ish he doesn’t have the go to athletic built but his technique and his cardio are what makes him not need so much body mass fighting at 135
Plenty of lean guys that need that extra size in weight to get that power but if you get the technique down to the core you’ll be good 9/10 at any weight class
At least
@@slaktheking69 aljo walked around at that and hes way bigger. its really difficult to get that low. you would also see that mass pretty clearly
He’s said he doesn’t get over 158 even when he’s not in camp
@@slaktheking69i'm 155 naturally and i'm way taller and more buff than o'malley

@@moversodysseydid you go to school to learn how to draw or on your own?

Nice channel
Nice one bud👍👍
this is some of the best content I've seen. keep it up dude your on to something
It's crazy because Alex pereira stands exactly the same way when striking
It’s also crazy because Alex is thin for a lhw. Look at his frame. He’s got broad shoulders, but he’s got a tiny waist.. I would say somewhat lanky. Lanky people really do punch harder. It’s actually the worst sparring with skinnier guys.
He's a bit smaller than me I am 6,2 154-6 lbs I idk how he hits so hard I tried but my arms are weak af I have the exact same build

Sean is definitely not big, but he’s walking around at 155-165 pounds before he cuts weight to make the 135 limit.

@@Masheen fair enough, I gotta admit I schemed thru your comment without properly reading it
Aljo got to say hello to his ancient ancestors during his unconsciousness 😅
The guy never even said in the video that it was a one punch K.O. Maybe watch the video before commenting on it next time🤦♂️
Nahhh you cooked here
Hey bro, do you know how to get Sean O malley's physique? His flat chest is what Im looking for if possible could you make a turtorial

@@moversodyssey oh ok thanks bro, appreciate it, love your videos btw keep up the good work
skinny and tall in a low weight class. hes fight guys with shorter reach. let him go up in weight a see how he does against people his own height.
What are you suggesting?
@@GripFreak that he fight a higher weight class
Everyone's a weight bully in mma dude. Sean wouldn't survive a round in lightweight which is supposedly is his natural weight.

Cool video, problem is it wasn't a one punch ko
I think he just meant that's become his thing. Maybe not this particular fight but many others.
Are you the one drawing too?
yea, its just screen recordings of me illustrating played back with voice over.
